Senate Education Committee approves minutes, holds SCR 108 to chair’s call

At a meeting of the Senate Education Committee, members approved the committee minutes for Feb. 12 and Feb. 19, 2025, and voted to hold Senate Concurrent Resolution 108 to the call of the chair.

The committee first approved the Feb. 12, 2025, minutes after a motion to adopt. A senator moved, “I move we approve the minutes from 02/12/2025,” and the committee approved the motion by voice vote, with the chair declaring the motion carried. The committee then approved the Feb. 19, 2025, minutes following a separate motion to accept those minutes; that motion also passed by voice vote.

Later in the meeting, Senator Nichols moved to delay consideration of SCR 108. “I move that we hold Senate concurrent resolution 108 to the call of the chair,” Senator Nichols said. The motion was seconded, members voted in favor by voice vote and the chair announced the motion carried, meaning the resolution will not be considered further until the chair schedules it.

The chair also welcomed Senator Woodward before the committee proceeded and said committee members should monitor their email about whether a meeting will be held tomorrow, noting there may not be a session. The meeting then adjourned.

The actions recorded in this meeting were procedural: approval of minutes and holding a concurrent resolution for later consideration. No debate on the substance of SCR 108 was recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: SCR 108 will remain on the committee’s docket and be taken up when the chair calls it for consideration; no date was announced in the transcript.
